Dad...I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law. You were also the greatest Dad and a truly wonderful man. You had such a big heart and did so much for so many through the years. You spread your love and were loved in return. We miss you but are comforted in knowing you are in a better place. Always in our thoughts and in our hearts....Love, your daughter-in-law Janet

Dad, I can't even find the words to tell you how much I miss you ! I can only hope there is a time when we will be together again and I can hold you and kiss you. You are the best father a son could ever ask for and I hope you know how much I loved you ! I hope your pain is gone and you are enjoying the wonderful life you so deserved ! So until we meet again, sit back, relax and listen to a little Lionel Ritchie, have a smoke and a beer and know you are greatly missed and loved ! Your loving son - JOEY !!!

joe,it has been a little over a year since you left us and i still find it hard to write my feelings down. we were together for fifty nine years and had three beautiful children who could not have ever had a better or more loving dad and even though they didnt always like your lectures you sometimes gave tem when they were young,they grew up knowing that it was because you loved them and wanted the best of everything for them. you and i often laughed about it later. well they grew up and they all made you very proud of them and they returned to you the love you gave to them. our years together had its ups and downs but we always overcame any hardships that came to us, because of the love we had for each other. you suffered much and fought so bravely to stay with us, but we no longer bear to see you that way and so GOD spared us all more pain and gave you peace and took you home with him and for that we are so grateful. so rest in peace dear one until we all are together again. your loving wife-- jerrie

Dad, You were & still are the brightest light in my life, besides mom. You taught me love is showing & sacrificing. You made me who I am today! I went to college to support my child & especially to make you proud. You gave everyone love, respect & support, especially me when ever I was in need. It was a honor to take care of you & give you back some of the love you gave me. I tried so hard to ease your pain & would of traded places with you in a minute if I could of. The only burden I ever felt was watching you suffer, for I suffered too. I try to remember your in heaven now & no more pain, but at times even that doesn't console me, for the loss of you is so unbearable at times. There is no way to measure or express how much I love you. I miss taking care of you & all our precious time together. From our morning coffee when we drive mom crazy with our chants of my daughter, my daughter & my fadder, my fadder till mom begged us to stop. To missing our talks, our special TV shows we watched & especially our times going away for a day at casino & forgetting all the problems. I miss you doing things for me out of LOVE like fixing things in the house, it truely was your labor of love to help me. I am trying to be strong the way you want me to be, for I know when you caught me cry once in the hospitol when you were going back to surgery, you said, " don,t cry , I worry & love you". So dad my little Houdini, I don,t want you to worry no more, Rest in peace! I was so blessed to have had you in my life & have your love & all the memories. Not everyone is as lucky as you have made me. LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER MOOCHIE XOXOX
